I was reminded of the Monty Python sketch,
from The Life of Brian, where one of the characters has an unfortunate lisp, but I was incorrect, it really is a word and the name of an exhibition as Japan House in Los Angeles holds the 10th anniversary of Windowology with a virtual exhibition,
Igarashi Tarō (Director
of the Windowology exhibition),comments, "Windows are one of the
most important elements in architecture. They function to connect the outside
and inside worlds, opening and closing as required. They are made of
transparent glass so they allow us to see the world outside and inside through
them, yet the glass itself acts as a physical shield, offering us protection
from the elements and harm",

the Teahouse (Credit: ©2019 Takumi Ota Photography), the
Windowology exhibition examines the role of windows as cultural objects and the
ways in which they frame our vision and give us unique perspectives on the
world. It explores ten themes: Windows on
Craft, Windows
on the Environment, Windows on
Stories, Windows on Film, Windows
on the Teahouse, Windows on
Manga, Windows
on How We Live Now, Windows on
Motion, Windows on
Words, and Windows on Art, each of the above has a collection of photographs many of which are so nice, also if you click onto the link to Windowology, it has a neat interactive feature allowing you to move around the exhibition.
